It should have a link under the field where you enter the API key. It ends up looking weird, like you have to signup for a new Google account, but you can also just log in with an existing one to get it.
I am el stupido. I have been trying to get one while signed into my Google account. I reentered my existing user info here: https://www.google.com/accounts/New...ekey&followup=http://api.google.com/createkey It then sent me my API. Wow...next thing ya know they are going to require some sort of license to operate a motor vehicle. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, it's a really unintuitive interface Google has. It makes it look like you have to sign up for a new account, but in reality you just can enter your existing account info again (even if you stay logged in). They really need to fix it IMO.
